I think also, we need to think about them in terms of not just
favorite - but why we buy them and how often. I always have peanut
butter on hand for sandwiches and snacks; so although I don't eat
peanuts out of hand, I buy one form of them quite often. I also
always have walnuts and pecans on hand to cook with... but my FAVORITE
nuts to eat with my hands are pistachios and cashews. Do I buy them
very often? No. Unlike the others, there are years between
purchases. OTOH, hubby is an almond fan. I keep a peanut butter jar
full of shelled, raw almonds on hand for him to munch on.

Brazil nuts and hazelnuts/filberts are my least favorite and Macadamia
is a definite "eh" for me. I'll eat Macadamias willingly if someone
gifts me with them, but I never deliberately go out and buy for
myself.
